Guest Mike Gaudiello Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 So I'm looking to get some MetaMorph goodness doing. Dude, I just cannot get busybox installed, that s*** is just way to complicated or doesn't work when I feel like I followed the instructions perfectly. I don't really wanna tread in custom ROM territory, most of them have extras that I don't want (trackball notifications, meh, HTC IME, double meh). I would be open to an ERE27 Root/Himem/Busybox flash with NO additional extras if one were to exist. Does anyone have instructions that actually work? I'm new to ADB and I really have a hard time wrapping my head around it, although I'm running ERE27/Root/Himem so I can at least do SOMETHING in it lol.

Guest Mantisen Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) This doesn't work <_< D:\Nexus One\1>adb remount * daemon not running. starting it now * * daemon started successfully * remount succeeded D:\Nexus One\1>adb shell mkdir /system/xbin D:\Nexus One\1>adb push system/xbin/busybox /system/xbin cannot stat 'system/xbin/busybox': No such file or directory D:\Nexus One\1>adb shell # push system/xbin/busybox /system/xbin push system/xbin/busybox /system/xbin push: not found Thoughts? I think (just a thought, I don't have my device available atm) that you just need to ad a / before system so the line changes to adb push /system/xbin/busybox /system/xbin If this doesn't work you can just try to navigate to the xbin folder and press down ctrl+shift and then right click, press "Open command window here" in the context menu that opens and type this into your command window: adb push busybox /system/xbin Just make sure you have the busybox file in the folder (should have the files e2fsck and dropbear in the same folder aswell) Edited March 11, 2010 by Mantisen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xkonni Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 This doesn't work :mellow: D:\Nexus One\1>adb remount * daemon not running. starting it now * * daemon started successfully * remount succeeded D:\Nexus One\1>adb shell mkdir /system/xbin D:\Nexus One\1>adb push system/xbin/busybox /system/xbin cannot stat 'system/xbin/busybox': No such file or directory D:\Nexus One\1>adb shell # push system/xbin/busybox /system/xbin push system/xbin/busybox /system/xbin push: not found Thoughts? the adb push has to be like this: adb push /path/to/local/file /where/you/want/it-on-the-phone/ so you didnt unpack the rom properly, or are in the wrong directory. if on linux, do a find | grep busybox and then enter the found path as first argument on adb push. I think (just a thought, I don't have my device available atm) that you just need to ad a / before system so the line changes to adb push /system/xbin/busybox /system/xbin nah, that would make it an absolute path. and i doubt you extracted it to / If this doesn't work you can just try to navigate to the xbin folder and press down ctrl+shift and then right click, press "Open command window here" in the context menu that opens and type this into your command window: adb push busybox /system/xbin Just make sure you have the busybox file in the folder (should have the files e2fsck and dropbear in the same folder aswell) should work too <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Uxian Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 As an alternative to using adb, Titanium Backup will automagically download and install Busybox for you if it doesn't find it on the phone. Just tap the button marked "Problems?" at the bottom of the main screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
